<p>If the operand passed to an arithmetic operator is integral or unscoped enumeration type, then before any other action (but after lvalue-to-rvalue conversion, if applicable), the operand undergoes <a href="implicit_cast.html#integral_promotion" title="cpp/language/implicit cast">integral promotion</a>. If an operand has array or function type, array-to-pointer and function-to-pointer conversions are applied.
</p>
<p>For the binary operators (except shifts), if the promoted operands have different types, additional set of implicit conversions is applied, known as <i>usual arithmetic conversions</i> with the goal to produce the <i>common type</i> (also accessible via the <span class="t-lc"><a href="../types/common_type.html" title="cpp/types/common type">std::common_type</a></span> type trait)
</p>
<ul><li> If either operand has scoped enumeration type, no conversion is performed: the other operand and the return type must have the same type

<ul><li> Otherwise, if either operand is <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">long</span> <span class="kw4">double</span></span></span>, the other operand is converted to <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">long</span> <span class="kw4">double</span></span></span>

</li></ul>
<ul><li> Otherwise, the operand has integer type (because bool, char, char16_t, char32_t, wchar_t, and unscoped enumeration were promoted at this point) and <a href="implicit_cast.html#integral_conversions" title="cpp/language/implicit cast">integral conversions</a> are applied to produce the common type, as follows:
</li></ul>
<dl><dd>
<ul><li> If both operands are signed or both are unsigned, the operand with lesser <i>conversion rank</i> is converted to the operand with the greater integer conversion rank
</li></ul>
</dd></dl>
<dl><dd>
<ul><li> Otherwise, if the unsigned operand's conversion rank is greater or equal to the conversion rank of the signed operand, the signed operand is converted to the unsigned operand's type.
</li></ul>
</dd></dl>
<dl><dd>
<ul><li> Otherwise, if the signed operand's type can represent all values of the unsigned operand, the unsigned operand is converted to the signed operand's type
</li></ul>
</dd></dl>
<dl><dd>
<ul><li> Otherwise, both operands are converted to the unsigned counterpart of the signed operand's type.
</li></ul>
</dd></dl>
<p>The <i>conversion rank</i> above increases in order <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">bool</span></span></span>, <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">signed</span> <span class="kw4">char</span></span></span>, <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">short</span></span></span>, <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">int</span></span></span>, <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">long</span></span></span>, <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">long</span> <span class="kw4">long</span></span></span>.

<p>Unsigned integer arithmetic is always performed <span class="texhtml" style="white-space: nowrap;">modulo 2<span class="t-su">n<br></span></span> where n is the number of bits in that particular integer. E.g. for <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">unsigned</span> <span class="kw4">int</span></span></span>, adding one to <span class="t-lc"><a href="../types/climits.1.html" title="cpp/types/climits">UINT_MAX</a></span> gives <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp">​<span class="nu0">0</span>​</span></span>, and subtracting one from <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp">​<span class="nu0">0</span>​</span></span> gives <span class="t-lc"><a href="../types/climits.1.html" title="cpp/types/climits">UINT_MAX</a></span>.
</p>
<p>When signed integer arithmetic operation overflows (the result does not fit in the result type), the behavior is undefined: it may wrap around according to the rules of the representation (typically 2's complement), it may trap on some platforms or due to compiler options (e.g. <code>-ftrapv</code> in GCC and Clang), or may be completely <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http%3A//blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-know_14.html">optimized out by the compiler</a>.

<p>The builtin unary plus operator returns the value of its operand. The only situation where it is not a no-op is when the operand has integral type or unscoped enumeration type, which is changed by integral promotion, e.g, it converts <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">char</span></span></span> to <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="kw4">int</span></span></span> or if the operand is subject to lvalue-to-rvalue, array-to-pointer, or function-to-pointer conversion.
</p>
<p>The builtin unary minus operator calculates the negative of its operand. For unsigned <code>a</code>, the value of <code>-a</code> is <span class="texhtml" style="white-space: nowrap;">2<span class="t-su">b<br></span>-a</span>, where <code>b</code> is the number of bits after promotion.

<p>where <code>LR</code> is the result of usual arithmetic conversions on <code>L</code> and <code>R</code>
</p>
<p>With operands of arithmetic or enumeration type, the result of binary plus is the sum of the operands (after usual arithmetic converesions), and the result of the binary minus operator is the result of subtracting the second operand from the first (after usual arithmetic conversions), except that, if IEEE floating-point arithmetic is supported,
</p>
<dl><dd>
<ul>
<li> if one operand is NaN, the result is NaN
</li>
<li> infinity minus infinity is NaN and <span class="t-lc"><a href="../numeric/fenv/FE_exceptions.html" title="cpp/numeric/fenv/FE exceptions">FE_INVALID</a></span> is raised
</li>
<li> infinity plus the negative infinity is NaN and <span class="t-lc"><a href="../numeric/fenv/FE_exceptions.html" title="cpp/numeric/fenv/FE exceptions">FE_INVALID</a></span> is raised
</li>
</ul>
</dd></dl>
<p>If any of the operands is a pointer, the following rules apply:
</p>
<ul>
<li> A pointer to non-array object is treated as a pointer to the first element of an array with size 1.
</li>
<li> If the pointer <code>P</code> points to the <code>i</code>th element of an array, then the expressions <code>P+n</code>, <code>n+P</code>, and <code>P-n</code> are pointers of the same type that point to the <code>i+n</code>th, <code>i+n</code>th, and <code>i-n</code>th element of the same array, respectively. The result of pointer addition may also be a one-past-the-end pointer (that is, pointer <code>P</code> such that the expression <code>P-1</code> points to the last element of the array). Any other situations (that is, attempts to generate a pointer that isn't pointing at an element of the same array or one past the end) invoke undefined behavior.
</li>
<li> If the pointer <code>P</code> points to the <code>i</code>th element of an array, and the pointer <code>Q</code> points at the <code>j</code>th element of the same array, the expression <code>P-Q</code> has the value <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp">i<span class="sy2">-</span>j</span></span>, if the value fits in <span class="t-lc"><a href="../types/ptrdiff_t.html" title="cpp/types/ptrdiff t">std::ptrdiff_t</a></span>. Both operands must point to the elements of the same array (or one past the end), otherwise the behavior is undefined. If the result does not fit in <span class="t-lc"><a href="../types/ptrdiff_t.html" title="cpp/types/ptrdiff t">std::ptrdiff_t</a></span>, the behavior is undefined.
</li>
<li> In any case, if the pointed-to type is different from the array element type, disregarding cv qualifications, at every level if the elements are themselves pointers, the behavior of pointer arithmetic is undefined. In particular, pointer arithmetic with pointer to base, which is pointing at an element of an array of derived objects is undefined.
</li>
<li> If the value <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp">​<span class="nu0">0</span>​</span></span> is added or subtracted from a pointer, the result is the pointer, unchanged. If two pointers point at the same object or are both one past the end of the same array, or both are null pointers, then the result of subtraction is equal to <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="br0">(</span><a href="../types/ptrdiff_t.html"><span class="kw101">std::<span class="me2">ptrdiff_t</span></span></a><span class="br0">)</span><span class="nu0">0</span></span></span>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>These pointer arithmetic operators allow pointers to satisfy the <a href="../concept/RandomAccessIterator.html" title="cpp/concept/RandomAccessIterator"><code>RandomAccessIterator</code></a> concept.

<p>The operands of the built-in bitwise shift operators have either integral types or unscoped enumeration type. Integral promotions are performed on both operands before evaluation. The return type is the type of the left operand after integral promotions.

<p>For unsigned <code>a</code>, the value of <code>a &lt;&lt; b</code> is the value of <span class="texhtml" style="white-space: nowrap;">a * 2<span class="t-su">b<br></span></span>, reduced modulo maximum value of the return type plus 1 (that is, bitwise left shift is performed and the bits that get shifted out of the destination type are discarded). For signed <code>a</code>, the value of <code>a &lt;&lt; b</code> is <span class="texhtml" style="white-space: nowrap;">a * 2<span class="t-su">b<br></span></span> if it is representable in the <span class="t-rev-inl t-since-cxx14"><span>unsigned version of the </span> <span><span class="t-mark-rev t-since-cxx14">(since C++14)</span></span></span>return type <span class="t-rev-inl t-since-cxx14"><span>(which is then converted to signed: this makes it legal to create <span class="t-lc"><a href="../types/climits.1.html" title="cpp/types/climits">INT_MIN</a></span> as <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><span class="nu0">1</span><span class="sy1">&lt;&lt;</span><span class="nu0">31</span></span></span>)</span> <span><span class="t-mark-rev t-since-cxx14">(since C++14)</span></span></span>, otherwise the behavior is undefined.

For negative <code>a</code>, the value of <code>a &gt;&gt; b</code> is implementation-defined (in most implementations, this performs arithmetic right shift, so that the result remains negative)

<p>In any case, if the value of the right operand is negative or is greater or equal to the number of bits in the promoted left operand, the behavior is undefined.
